Slab's First Fist: 7 Ernie Takes One

Ernie prepares to give the interloper a beating.DB is a trained mixed martial artist and quickly dispatches his victim with a punishing kick to the knee. The joint disintegrates.Ernie seizes his shattered knee in agony as DB looks for his next prey. Slab leaps off Bobby: "Hey! You can't do that to Ernie!"He kisses his bully fist for luck.Ernie eggs him on: "Preserve the honor of the Liquor family, Slab!"

Slab is eager; he knows he has a real fight on his hands: "This is gonna be good."Donald's steely eyes zero in on his target. They touch gloves.The clash of the titans is on! Violence returns to the cartoons! Will pooberty or training win??(that last image is inspired by Kirby, the greatest fight artist ever)

I was about to buy a Kaspar doodle, but the one I wanted was gone. And after ten minutes of shouting swear words at the ceiling, I decided to make a request: could you do some Jimmy and George Liquor stories next? I re-read the original four Spumco Comics almost religously.

Um... not to nitpick, but I believe the 3 Stooges always start of together in all their films, all looking for work during the depression usually. I can't think of any of their films where they started out separately.

You might have been thinking of the Marx Bros. In their movies they always started off in different corners and would then become a team by the end (although Chico and Harpo were usually together at the beginning).

That's all beside the point. This story is very entertaining and is developing nicely. I can't wait to see how it ends.
